Iowa Criminal and Juvenile Justice Plan 1997

Abstract

Pursuant to Iowa Code 216A, subchapter 9, CJJP is required to issue an annual report
containing long-range system goals, special issue planning recommendations and research
findings. CJJP’s 1997 response to its reporting requirement is different from past years.
Rather than issuing one large document containing many separate reports, single-issue
1997 Update reports now are being made available based on reader interest and need. It
is hoped this approach to disseminating CJJP research and planning reports will be more
cost effective and more responsive to the planning activities and information needs of
Iowa’s policy makers, justice system officials and others.
